New Tattoo and I Can't Stop Feeling Depressed and Lost. Help Me :(
UPDATED FROM bea1029
omg day 7 and am going nuts at home.. have a question hoping some of you can help with
Okay so I had to lance my blisters cause they were bad.. was told to by place I am having treatments by.. I was keeping them covered for the last two days and all though this is great it is keeping the skin of the blisters from drying up.. so this moring I said f it to the non stick pads.. do you guys this this is okay?? my chest I didn't cover at all and all blisters have dried up and are scabby now.. yet my side is still all mushy.. how many days do you think it will take now that I uncovered it.. only thing covering it is my shirt and blanket till it dries up?? I refuse to go back to a germ infested gym to lift weights and walk untill these suckers are dry

day 5 and not getting better. .blisters on whole thing. .need some help
Ok.. so I had this done Wed and it is now Sunday.. as much as I wanted to go back to daily activity I have not been able to.. Moving around hurts so much.. sitting ouch ouch ouch.. and sleeping sucks. I can't do much cause seems like my pain is into my bones. so my tat is all blistered the entire thing.. big ones and if not big all little ones on all the black line work etc. Like I mentioned the pico was used for the entire thing. The one's that popped are still oozing yellow.. and it gets crusty but I am assuming that is the ooz drying up.. the tat is very dry but I am not putting moisturizer on it as instructed.. last night I put a little bacetracin in the open wound and that helped(although apparently not suppose to use anything but leaving it dry covered(.. not so pick looking.. when I wake I take off gauze to let breath for an hour or two.. i only have gauze on the lotus part since that is what is open.. these are really painful and did not last as long last time with my chest.. how long will this take to all go away and finally scab over. I am keeping dry.. washing once in the morning and once at night with dial antibacterial and changing dressing as needed.. I will attach a pic as I am quite worried about this one.
I have definitely decided to leave my hip completely alone.. maybe just remove dots.. the black doesn't look faded at all.. I am assuming I will have to touch up the color in the flower cause the purple has been hit good and is there in some and not in others.. as much as I want my chest tat gone I was unsure of my hip(lesson don't do anything unless you are positive lol) I already can't wait till my next chest appt.. but no no no on the hip. Please tell me this is going to go away and what you see is normal, and what the time frame may be..this is definitely hurting.. and aching inside my body(on the side where it was done)even into my thigh..

the black doesn't look faded to me too. this is great you did not go to q-switch this time. Looks like you will just need to add color to the flower, easy:) sorry to hear about your pains, sounds terrible but this is for just a short period, will be over soon. how long did the blisters heel last time on the chest? I am still itching for more then 2 weeks after the procedure and would actually prefer pain instead, do u have itching also?

lets see.. the chest blisters obsorbed themselves by day 4 but I itched for a good 3 weeks maybe.. the itching sucks.. my advice.. drink a ton of water it helps and rub benedryl cream on it.. also take some lol.. the removal place told me the black will look out of focus possible and less sharp in about 4-6 weeks

Ugh it does look painful but all the blistering I've seen on others did eventually heal after the first week. I haven't had much blistering during my process but I did notice I developed a few small ones and more irritation when I let hot water hit the area the day after the laser session last time.
It's still probably swollen and enflamed so once that goes away and a few weeks go by I am sure you'll see some great fading!! Good luck and feel better soon!! Keep us updated!!

thanks so much.. I actually lanced them as directed and had them covered till today.. finally uncovered it this morning cause unlike my chest which has not been covered at all they blisteres have all dried out.. yet on my side the loose skin from the bliters are still mushy and I think cause of the non stick pads.. I want to get back to the gym tomorrow.. but won't go till they dry out.. hopefully uncovering them today will do the trick.. any thoughts??? will it take only a day. tomorrow is a week since treatment

wondering if blasting my hip was the right decision
man I have to stop being impulsive lol.. so I am beyond excited about the removal on my chest yeah healing sucks, but I am no longer upset that it is there and happy to be in the process of making it go away :) I don't even really think about it anymore until I get a treatment and have to care for it during the healing process.. when I was there for my chest I was wondering if i should do the one on my hip.. I was very indecisive .. heck I was thinking about it for the 6 weeks between my chest treatments and honestly the 3 mos before that when I was waiting to get my first chest treatment.. well with all said I done I was still unsure.. new I wasn't 100% pleased with it and said do it. at the same time in is on my side and unless in a bathing suit I decided what the hell.. well now i am worried it might not go away 100% or if I stop it will look like a blotchy mess and not as sharp as the others.. I kinda regret starting it and wish I would have left it alone.. I keep thinking about it and wondering if I would have regretted not doing it....I was definitely not 100% about it like I was my chest.. and I am not happy about the healing process of it either.. especially the one I tore open and it exposed and can do nothing but leave it dry and covered.. this anxiety is definitely not good for my fading on my chest for sure.. I am also so uncomfortable with both during the healing that I can't sleep.. how bad will my side piece look after first fading.. will it be noticible that I started treatment... I mean my chest is having such amazing progress.. really wish I left it alone.. wasn't happy but also was not in a spot that bothered me completely like my chest... oh also the other two blisters that popped that still have skin on it I keep pushing out with the non stick bandages to squeeze out the filling cause it keeps filling back up.. I didn't have this issue with my chest last time the blisters just reoborbed. also did you all wait to go back to normal activity till blisters were gone

I understand what you mean. I have had one session only and there are no results, but itching is so terrible for these 2 weeks after the procedure that I wish I never started at all. But the lines are already broken and it looks like old ugly tattoo, still very black but kind of worn, and there is no way back. But you have a great impressive progress, so I guess it is worth it for you to go on:) I have heard people which work out get rid of the ink twice faster then thos who smoke and don't exercise. So you have all the cnahces. But all of your tattoes are really beautiful. I remove mine cause they are ugly black spots:)

i think u can live the hip alone and if it not so colorful any more, fix it with your tattoo artist to look fresh and vibrant again:)

thanks.. I do workout but can't now cause of the blistering.. I only didn't like the purple lotus cause it didn't match the style of my others and seemed too busy on my thighs. so getting rid of that and all the lines made sense, but now I regret it cause I was very unsure of it.. I wanted to only do my chest and then though hey why not paying any extra for the session.. now I am stuck in bed.. it's like 3 weeks gym 3 weeks non.. this sucks!!!!

oh and so basically I have no choice but to continue.. or get it touched up.. or either continue or fad enough to get something that matches other styles.. what do you think.. I am so fing pissed right now.. it was in an area that didn't bother me at all.. nothing visible except if I wear a binkini in front of someone which isn't often

I think the one on the hip is cute and can be covered with clothes easily. It is a long and expensive journey with no guarantee of 100 percent removal, so I personally would just wait till the lotus heels and get it covered with some other color prefer:) as for the roses, your progress is so impressive that I would not hesitate to have a couple more sessions:) as for myself, right now I hope for fading which would be enough for a good cover up with brigh vibrant colors, the heeling process is so disgusting, this itching is killing me and like you I do not sleep for a week already, so I do not think I want 20 sessions of laser, and I don't mind beautiful ink. In your case i love them all, but I can understand you desire to have nothing showing off in any clothes you wear:) any way, your case is not the worst here at all. I have tons of black ink, which looks really too depressive. And yours are girly and lovely, good luck with whatever you choose

thsnks hon.. I was told if I don't move on it will look messy and gross after one treatment.. I did all the black line leading up to the bird as well.. you have no idea how much regret I have for not leaving it alone.. one that it is not awful .. I like my other one's. .the two birds and lily.. I just felt this didn't match it.. I don't eve want to go through one more.. the purple mgjt look awful and the black line messy.. although some of the black lines don't look touched at all,. I am actually happy when I get my chest done cause I know it will go away and I can't live with it.. knowing I was so unsure of the purple I should have left it.. I was about to scream stop befor she started and I am not stuck not working out till all blisters go away which god knows how long that wll take :( what colors were you thinking.. do you think I will be able to fully leave it alone or will a touch up work which I already had done to it.. like after this first treatment heals.. how much will one pico take out.. they used the pico on the whole thing instead of the nyad 1064 .. so hoping my black lines didnt fade at all.. thoughts? oh and I love black ink btw

I am sure u can leave it alone and have one session with a tattoo artist to bring the colors back to the flower)) if it was pico then I suppose the black lines will stay as they are. I would definitely not remove the whole tatto for sure. As for mine, my man and parents tell me to leave them all alone but I just want to give it a try , blakc tattooes are too depressive, and colorful like yours on the hip is really nice, just keep it and get one sesssion from tattoo artist instead of 12 of laser:)
